Musk's Government Role Sparks Controversy Amid Conflicting Statements

According to Block Beats, Elon Musk made conflicting statements about his government role during a Tesla earnings call. Initially, Musk suggested that he would reduce his involvement with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) starting in May. However, he later indicated that he might remain involved in government affairs until 2029, when the term of U.S. President Donald Trump ends. Musk stated his intentions to continue working on government matters to prevent waste and fraud, dedicating a day or two a week as long as it remains useful and desired by the president.

Musk's current role in the government is at the edge of the law in Washington. The White House describes him as a "special government employee." However, Max Stier, CEO of the Partnership for Public Service, argues that granting Musk broad powers to manage DOGE, fire employees, and reduce federal agencies was a misapplication of the special government employee law from the start. The Trump administration has been criticized for exploiting this mechanism by hiring Musk and others to bypass restrictions typically placed on full-time employees, such as conflicts of interest and security clearance requirements.
